BFG's,  Goodyears, bridgestones, Toyo's , and even Coopers   are good  tires  to  use  for  daily driving  and offroading,  they are a harder compound than  superswampers,  so they will last much longer  (probably twice as long) but  dont grip as well on  rock slab,

I drove my Migo on 35's as a DD for awhile, (bought them very used) and went through the 'Con and I still love em and they still look pretty decent :thumbs:

I drove 20k on my 37" MTRS before I sold them and they still looked like a good 85% tread left.

ive had my tires (37s) for 2 1/2 years. i still have 55ish% if you keep up on the alignment they will last and last. its great. any time i noticed it starting to pull more than it should (lets say letting go of the wheel and it will drift within under 5 seconds) id redo the alignment. best DD wheeler tire i think personally. get them.

I have about 30K on mine (maybe more not sure, had them since Dec 2004 and drive quite a bit) and they have about 10-15% left. Then again ive had a locker in it for a while and lately its been welded and i have been in plenty of instances where im on rocks smoking my tires so there goes some tread. Oh and i have had my share of good burnouts with those things.

Anyway great tire. Alot of people talk crap about them saying they suck on the rocks and have weak sidewalls but i use mine on the rocks, drop tires to about 4-5psi and they grip just as good as people with tsl/sx's in front of me so I dont see where people say they suck. Only thing they SUCK on is ice... OI bet if they were siped theyd be fine.

and i am running 37/12.50/15 on 15x10 rims

I dd my mtr's. When I got them they had about 80% tread now about 10k later I would say about 75%. They grip good on the rocks and dry hard dirt!

i have 37" mtr with 20k on mine and they look new. I also have a 37" mtr with 60k on it (sper tire) but it still has an 1/8" of tread left. Take care of them and they will do the same for you.
